description | Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a devastating cardiopulmonary disorder with poor prognosis and limited curative options. Recent studies revealed a strong association between adipose tissue dysfunction (e.g., obesity) and PH. Adipokines are bioactive polypeptides with pleiotropic effects mainly produced by adipose tissue, and it is suggested that imbalanced production of adipokines in obesity may play a key role in the pathogenesis of PH. Alternations in the production and secretion of adipokines have been observed in PH patients and rodents PH models. In this review, we summarize the expressions and functions of several well-recognized adipokines, the roles of adipokines in the pathogenesis of PH and recent advances in the pharmacological and molecular modulation of adipokines in the treatment of PH. We found that several adipokines (e.g., leptin, resistin, and chemerin) have been demonstrated to display pro-proliferation, pro-inflammatory, and pro-oxidative properties and exacerbate PH. Other adipokines (e.g., adiponectin, apelin, and omentin-1) have anti-proliferation, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic and anti-oxidative impacts on the pulmonary vascular remodeling of PH and are suggested as protective factors against PH, and targeting imbalanced adipokines appears to be a potential novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of PH. |
